NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: Prices were unchanged to lower
in the Northeast and Midwest, unchanged
elsewhere. The market tone was barely
steady to mostly weak. Cartoned egg
demand covered die hill range, moady fair,
and best into retail channels. Demand for
graded or ungraded loose eggs was light to
fair into food service channels, and gener
ally light at the packer level. Supplies were
adequate to ample. Surplus eggs were
offered in all regions, and current nego
tiated trades cominued to be at discounts.
Breakers received adequate shell eggs
from contracted sources, and surplus egg
purchases increased as prices dropped.
Live hen offerings increased, and were
generally fully adequate for the light to
moderate demand; trade sentiment was
barely steady to steady.
